Establishing a program to assist with door and window repair and security for survivors of domestic and gender-based violence.

A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to establishing a program to assist with door and window repair and security for survivors of domestic and gender-based violence

This bill would require the Office to End Domestic and Gender-Based Violence (ENDGBV) to establish a trauma-informed program that connects eligible survivors of domestic or gender-based violence to support services, including, but not limited to, door and window repair services for the dwellings of eligible survivors as well as a personal emergency response device. No later than one year after EBDGBV establishes the program, the agency would be required to submit a report on the program to the Mayor and Speaker of the Council and post such report on the office’s website. ENDGBV would also be required to develop and conduct and outreach and education program to inform the public about the program.
